Deputies: Burglar busted found sitting on lanai, unmoved by the sound of approaching sirens

FloriDUH tip: If you keep getting busted for theft, perhaps it's time to give it up.

Clearly you're just not very good in this line of work.

Thinking nobody was home, deputies say Christopher Edward Boegli broke into a Port Charlotte home. But the homeowner was inside and called authorities, according to a news release from the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office.

The homeowner saw Boegli go to the back of his home and enter his lanai after knocking on his front door. He then tried to open the locked sliding doors. After picking up several extension cords and putting them inside a bucket, Boeglli then sat down in the lanai, according to the release.

And that's where deputies reportedly found him -- sitting on the lanai, unmoved by the sound of deputy’s sirens approaching.

Later Boegli allegedly told deputies he was struggling financially and planned to sell the extension cords for the scrap copper wire.

He's currently out on bond for retail theft that occurred just 20-days earlier at a Walmart. And Boegli also has a prior conviction for burglary.
